Digital X-ray inspection of the space station

Vast Space Using DÜRR NDT’s Flexible Digital X-ray Detectors on Space Station Project

03. Jun 2025 /

The california-based company Vast Space recently unveiled its plans to take over the coveted spot left behind by the ISS, revealing the design of its Haven-2 space station. Vast is using the D-DR 1025B NDT and D-DR 1043B NDT together with D-Tect X software to perform X-ray inspection of the welds on the exterior of their Haven space station.

Digital Radiography Training with Computed Radiography

HD-CR 35 NDT Enables State-of-the-Art Digital Radiography Training in the Philippines

11. Mar 2025 /

In cooperation with our local partner, Lingtec Instruments, we donated a Computed Radiography (CR) scanner to the Non-Destructive Testing department of the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP). With digital radiography constantly replacing film, the aim is to expose undergraduates to the latest technologies adopted in the industry and the benefits they bring.

Technology Upgrade for DÜRR NDT’s Digital Large Format X-ray Detector

18. Feb 2025 /

The new large format X-ray detector D-DR 3643 NDT is 20% lighter and even more robust than the previous model. With an active area of 351 x 427 mm, it is perfectly suited for profile radiography and large test objects. At a pixel pitch of 99 µm, it achieves a SRb of 100 µm and together with its high contrast, delivers outstanding image quality for radiographic testing.

Computed Radiography vs Direct Digital Radiography

Computed Radiography vs Digital Detector Arrays in NDT

DÜRR NDT

18. Mar 2025 /

Learn more about the two main technologies Computed Radiography (CR) and Direct Digital Radiography (DR) in 2D digital X-ray. Discover the strengths of both to select the right technology to get the best results for the specific application.

Metallic screens gamma computed radiography

Investigation of the effect of metallic screens on image quality in gamma computed radiography

Nick D‘Ademo, DÜRR NDT

15. Nov 2018 /

The role of metallic screens in computed radiography for controlling scattered radiation is very well-known. This paper extends this topic further and quantitatively investigates how image quality in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and basic spatial resolution (SRb) is influenced by metallic screens when Iridium-192 is used as the radiation source.

Practical guideline for digital radiographic testing of welds according to ISO 17636-2

Uli Pöhler, DÜRR NDT; Steve Jelfs, DÜRR NDT

06. Sep 2017 /

As standards become increasingly important in radiographic testing, knowing how to properly apply these standards in real-world applications is now more crucial than ever. Learn how to apply the ISO 17636-2 standard using a steel weld plate as an example and shorten your time to a high-quality image.
